CLAREMONT, Calif. – The No. 2 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps women's tennis team won every game in seven of the nine matches against Occidental College on Saturday morning. The Athenas (21-0, 6-0) easily swept the Tigers (3-11, 1-5) in doubles and then earned their ninth 9-0 sweep of the season.

Smith, Martin and Shea all earned straight set wins in singles play as well. Martin and senior Katie Kuosman (CMC) quickly took their matches at No. 6 and 2 respectively 6-0, 6-0 to clinch the match for the Athenas. Freshman Lauren Yamagami (CMC) and Smith were also good for the 6-0, 6-0 wins.

Oxy managed four games off Ana Bryan-Ajania (SC) in the first set before the lefty freshman earned the 6-0 win in the second. Shea and Nicole Castro from Oxy looked to have a close match initially before Shea rattled off the 6-2, 6-1 win to complete the sweep.

CMS faces Pomona-Pitzer in the final SCIAC regular season match on Thursday, April 22 at 6 p.m. The Sagehens (13-5, 6-0) currently sit in fourth nationally and just behind the Athenas at second in the region.
